Countdown to Moonlight Madness - Two More Days!

We're counting the days until we can sign up for Moonlight Madness. Moonlight Madness is the Summer Reading Program for adults, and it's based on the game Clue. Moonlight Madness sign-up begins at the library on June 1 at 9:00 a.m. Online sign-up begins that day at noon. Since we can't sign up yet, please allow us to introduce you to some of the characters in the game.

VIC VICKERY, LIBRARY VOLUNTEER
Mr. Vickery is a new volunteer that has been with the Library for four weeks. His duties include shelving materials on Tuesdays and working in the Administration Office on Fridays. On the evening of the crime he agreed to work after hours along with a few select people to help move shelving and furniture for a large fundraising event taking place the next day.


THE DIRECTOR
The Library Director is adored by all her staff. She loves to laugh and has many eligible male suitors knocking at her door; however she rarely agrees to go out with anyone. This may have something to do with the fact that she was once engaged to Vic Vickery, who broke her heart when he called off their engagement… BY A TEXT MESSAGE! Prior to her present career in Library Science, Susan earned a degree in chemistry and had worked five years for a prominent pharmaceutical company.

SOUTHERN DIVA
The Southern Diva works in Tech Services at the Library. She loves anything that sparkles, the color pink, her tiara, and you seldom see her without her stiletto heels. She has been carrying a personal vendetta against Vic Vickery ever since he took over her family’s pew in church. A crime worse than murder in the South!

THE MASTER GARDENER
The Master Gardener has been with the Library for 25 years in the role of Children’s Librarian. She has the patience of a saint dealing with high-spirited children day in and out. In her spare time she has spent the last ten year’s nurturing a Titan arum, ironically, better known as the Corpse Flower which only blooms every 10 years. Just days before the flower was expected to bloom her next door neighbor’s dog happened to jump her fence and destroy her prize possession. Her screams were heard throughout the neighborhood that she would get her revenge on Vic Vickery.

Who do you think did it? Please hold your judgement for just one more day; tomorrow we'll introduce you to three more characters! And remember to sign up for the Summer Reading Program on Friday, June 1. You can't win if you don't play!
